Musician Simphiwe Dana stands firm to her views about South African men being gold diggers and being at the bottom of the barrel.

The artist ruffled a lot of feathers with her controversial tweets and that eventually called for her downfall.

Simphiwe released her latest album Bamako and social media users reckoned that she started this commotion on Twitter in order to draw attention to her music.

After offending many men in the country with her views, they have even called for people to boycott her album.

The singer did not show any remorse for her tweets and is not worried about a planned boycott of her album but has asked her followers not to pirate her music.

“Please try not pirate my new album. I know it’s way too easy to. And you’re suffering from your own mgowo. But please try and support artists. We bring you a lot of peace,” she told fans on Twitter.

However, Simphiwe remains unshaken, infact she showed how unapologetic she is by saying ‘she needs these man tears for her cocktail.’

Cassper Nyovest got dragged for his tweets which he talks about how the entertainment industry is at the bottom of the barrel.

Industries have been suffering immensely because of the lockdown and the relaxation of the restrictions saw the entertainment industry not being prioritised, according to Cassper.

Tweeps did not take his tweet lightly and called him out on his privilege, saying he has Bentley’s whilst there are people who are expected to survive on R350.

“You guys are so greedy and it’s painful because you are competing with your fans who sleeps on an empty stomach yet you complaining because your comfort is shaken. May God please help you see the light,” one follower tweeted in disapproval.

Supermega responded and said he created him.Last year in November Shane tweeted, and asked someone to tell AKA to send him a pair of Reebok sneakers, AKA responded and said he would unblock him on Twitter, which had many convinced that they are cool.

Recently Shane tweeted a screenshot of his Facetime conversation with AKA. Fans heaved a sigh of relief and suspected that they might be collaborating very soon since they have squashed their beef.
